Tuning Fork The end of a tuning fork moves in simple harmonic motion described by the equation . If a tuning fork for the note above middle on an even-tempered scale ( , the tone by which an orchestra tunes itself) has a frequency of 440 hertz (cycles per second), find . If the maximum displacement of the end of the tuning fork is millimeter, determine the equation that describes the movement of the tuning fork.
